Thought of calling ya, but you won't pick up

 

Graduation was done and gone. Rainy's days were numbered. Why in the world had he wanted to leave this summer for Lawerence? 

Back then, he wasn't thinking he'd fall in love and want to spend an eternity with Maddie. But it just felt so wrong now. Rainy was in a sad way.

Maybe there had just been too many happy days with her. After all, she was his first in so many ways. Not that they'd gone all the way, but the kissing was perfection and it was all so addictive. 

How could she have broken it off with him so easily? Was he just an experiment?

He'd been ill these days. He couldn't eat. He couldn't sleep. And she still wanted to just be friends.

What was she trying to do to him?

"You guys should have hooked up last fall," Darry said. Of course, everything was peachy with Junie. They weren't going anywhere. 

"How do I get her back?" He'd asked while they were walking to the library alone for their last Anime meeting.

"I dunno man. Try not to obsess on her," Darry told him.

Rainy gave him a nod, but it wouldn't be easy. He'd cried himself sick every night. How could she be so cold? True, he'd let her have the upper hand since day one. But wasn't that the way to win the girl? Oh, he didn't like thinking like that. It was true love. At least for him.

"Maybe, she's right. You've got so much to look forward to. I know she didn't want to hold you back. Maybe she thought you had everything figured out and she's nowhere near that," Darry shrugged.

It didn't make Rainy feel any better.

"Hey, you got Sundays with her," Darry smiled as if that was the key. She wasn't letting him go completely.
